What does the online proof show?

The online proof is a preview built to confirm your layout and cut lines, not to judge final print color or sharpness. It shows how the file is arranged for trimming.

• It is a low-resolution preview used to verify cut lines and layout.
• It confirms nothing is misplaced or incorrectly sized.
• It is not a true representation of final print quality.
• The actual print uses the high-resolution files you supplied.

Use the proof to check placement and trimming, and rely on your source file for the final print quality.

• Screen color is RGB while the press prints CMYK, so judge color from your file, not the proof.
• An image can look fine in the proof and still print soft if its resolution is low, so raise any resolution concern with support before you approve.
• If something is wrong, reject the proof and upload a corrected file, and a new proof is posted.
